Six Years Ago Today I Had Landed In Afghanistan. I’ve Been Living There Ever Since

ADVERTISEMENT

On this day 6 years ago (2011) we landed in Afghanistan.

These are some of the photos I took on OPERATION HERRICK 13/14 whilst in Kabul working as a Multiple 2ic within Souter Force Protection and Transport Company.

I really enjoyed my time out there. It was hard work at times but I got to see some amazing things experience some good and bad things and captured some great pictures out there.

    In the winter the locals sold popcorn in the summer it was ice cream

    I like this picture. The man saw me and cracked a toothless grin!

    I like the contrast of the girl in the red dress against the drab background

    Definitely a stark contrast to the pictures I've seen in the media! Yours show a whole different side. Very nice!

    I did not expect to find such peace and farming and normalcy in Afghanistan. Nice stay!

    Shows a very different side and I have to say it's a very beautiful and ordinary side
